The Bohai Sea is the only semi-enclosed inland sea in China. With active marine economic activities, it faces a persistently high risk of oil spill accidents. This study assesses the occurrence risk and pollution risk of oil spills by considering factors such as sea state, the location of oil platform, and shipping route density in the Bohai Sea. The results show that the central part of the Bohai Sea, the southern Liaodong Pe...

Route planning to evade potential pollution holds critical importance for aquaculture vessels. This study establishes a fish-feed pollutant drift model based on the Lagrangian particle tracking algorithm and designs four sets of sensitivity experiments in the East China Sea. The research investigates the impact of model input uncertainties on the drift trajectory, centroid position, and sweeping area of the fish-feed pollutant...

Introduction Bivalve aquaculture is an important pillar of China's fisheries, with over 1 million tonnes of scallop shells produced annually. However, most of these shells are directly discarded into the sea, leading to continuous pollution of the marine and coastal environments, especially the coast of Yantai in the Bohai Sea where a large number of discarded scallop shell have accumulated. Methods To trace the fate of scallo...

In this study, we developed a transport model for typical pollutants in the Yellow Sea using the Lagrangian particle tracking method to analyze the trajectories of fish feed, a common pollutant in the Yellow Sea. The model incorporates the influence of ocean currents and surface winds on pollutant transport and utilizes a series of numerical experiments to simulate pollutant transport. Through statistical analysis of the numer...
